The Depolarizers

It’s the most common gripe about American politics: why is everything so polarized, and how do we fix it? While pundits frequently talk about polarization, few focus on identifying and replicating success stories in actually reducing polarization. In The Depolarizers, a new podcast series from Welcome, Lauren Harper Pope dives into the history of polarization and the people dedicated to moving past our era of intransigence. Each episode explores a theme of polarization featuring both political professionals and academic experts. Additionally, each installment has an accompanying essay at WelcomeStack.org exploring the themes in more depth and strengthening the community of depolarizers in the middle.
